Well, I survived the week on my own (Jonathan was away for work) AND managed to do OK at the Run for the Toad 25 km trail race (near Paris). First, a big thank you goes to Jonathan’s parents …

Training this week again went well. I am so pleased that I am physically feeling great. I believe my right foot is actually healing, and I am definitely feeling like I will be ready to run regular doubles soon! I have a ways to go but am thrilled my body is handling the mileage well.I ran a total of 90 …

As you likely already know, I lost my dad to cancer (colon) in 1995 and my mom to cancer (leukemia) in 1997. So, participating in events to raise funds and/or awareness about cancer is very meaningful to me. Last Sunday our church organized a Walk of Hope for Ovarian Cancer.

Despite the bruised toe, still-kinda-sore rib, and bum-right-foot, I was able to log 96 km this week (and swim 4.5 km and bike 65 min).

After my slow race last week, I was determined to get to work this week. And I did. I was steady in accomplishing a 10 km (middle 5 km tempo) tempo run, 11.5 km (8×250 m hills) hill run, and 21.5 km (strong finish) long run with some easy runs between to total 84 km. I did over 2 hrs …

Well, I wanted to see where things are. Now I know. Today I ran the Rock the Road 10 km in London. Brandon and Chantelle and gang put on a great race (thanks, guys)! Not a PR for me, that is for sure. But not a disaster either. It’s hard to articulate how I feel about today. On one hand, …
